On Your Marks, Get Set, Row! | Chloe Smith

James Shone, founder of I Can and I Am will row the Thames later this month in aid of the charity, which seeks to enable children to fulfil their potential.

James was diagnosed with a brain tumour in 2013, shortly before he was due to take up the headship at Monkton Prep. After many weeks in hospital, and surgeries that saved his life but took his sight, James set out to share his positive, pastoral message with a wider audience. The father of four is now a motivational speaker, ‘inflating the balloon of self-belief’ in schools, businesses and charities up and down the country.
